  People aren't exactly nicer to each other when they're anonymous...

  Sure, but it is a strange argument: morality is very sensitive to context, but in anonymous discussions lack most context and have to guess it. So anonymous discussions are largely free of the restrictions imposed by the notions of common decency, so any civil discourse in unregulated media is a minor miracle.

  The online disinhibition effect would argue the exact opposite.
